Thyme and Three-Cheese Soufflé

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
The soufflé is a culinary magic trick: using hot air to lift a dense base into a cloud. This savory version combines the woodsy scent of thyme with the umami richness of cheese. While famous for being finicky, the secret is simply respecting the egg whites. If you don't deflate them, the oven does the rest.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter ramekins thoroughly up to the rim.

Tip: Butter gives the batter a ladder to climb. Miss a spot, and it sticks.
2 ✓

Separate eggs. Whisk yolks with milk, salt, pepper, and thyme.

Tip: Fat in yolks adds richness.
3 ✓

Mix flour and baking powder, then whisk into yolk mixture until smooth and thick.

Tip: Baking powder aids lift.
4 ✓

Stir in most of the cheese (save some for top).

Tip: Small shreds melt evenly.
5 ✓

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold into batter with a spatula.

Tip: Crucial step! Don't overmix or you lose the air bubbles.
6 ✓

Fill ramekins 3/4 full, top with remaining cheese. Bake 25-30 mins.

Tip: NEVER open the oven door in the first 20 mins or it will collapse.
7 ✓

Serve immediately.

Tip: Part of the charm is the height.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it collapse?
That's nature! As air cools, it contracts. Serve immediately. If it fell in the oven, you opened the door.
Can I prep ahead?
Grease ramekins and grate cheese, but whip whites right before baking.
